Why is an interactive toy the best gift for a cat?

Interactive toys work automatically and are designed for the pet to play them on their own, without the participation of the owner. This innovative development is aimed at creating interesting leisure activities for our tailed friends, as well as at their physical and intellectual development. The main purpose of interactive toys is to engage your pet in an enthusiastic game and stimulate his mental and physical activity. In practice, the useful properties of such toys, of course, are much greater. Here is some of them:

• Interactive toys fully satisfy the needs of cats in movement and hunting. This is an excellent physical training, which is very important for the prevention of weight gain, to which all domestic cats are prone.  

• Interactive toys develop ingenuity, dexterity and coordination of the pet. They not only captivate, but also teach to find solutions in non-standard situations. Therefore, do not be surprised that a cat that has played enough will show unexpected talents in education and, for example, in demonstrating tricks.

• Interactive toys ensure the safety of wallpaper, furniture and other interior items or personal belongings of the owner. Even if you are not at home for a long time and you cannot follow your pet’s pastime, be sure that playing with an interactive toy will be much more interesting for him than sharpening his claws on your favorite chair.

• Interactive toys will provide you with a restful sleep. As you know, cats are nocturnal animals. And only a few owners can boast that a small domestic hunter does not interfere with their sleep at night. Thanks to interactive toys, this problem is solved, because a cat who is passionate about the game will not wander around the house in search of adventure. In addition, there are special night toys that do not make any noise (for example, the Petstages track with a flashing ball).

• Interactive toys will give you a lot of smiles. Otherwise, it is impossible, because your happy pet in front of your eyes will joyfully rush around his toy or show miracles of ingenuity. And how can you not be happy for him? 

• Interactive toys prevent stress. Through fun hunting simulation games, your pet predator’s emotional potential will be satisfied, greatly reducing the chance of stress.

• Interactive toys will make your cat healthy and happy. And this is the most important point, which, thanks to the above, no longer needs clarification.

But which toy to choose, because the range is quite wide? In this matter, it all depends on the individual preferences of your pet. Some cats are crazy about ball tracks (track Petstages). Others will be drawn to electronic toys like the GiGwi Pet Droid, which automatically releases feathers from the body depending on the movement of the cat, or KONG Glide’n Seek, in which funny tails move inside the toy, and the cat is happy to catch them.

In general, finding the perfect toy can only be done through trial and error. But do not forget that for a happy life, a pet must have several toys and they must be alternated, otherwise capricious felines will quickly lose interest in them.

Fun games for your pets!
